  - I'm not saying that not voting for Obama is racist, or that Republicans are cheating, but it would be the only way to explain him not winning now. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 12:15 19
    - bwahahahahaha! -- nm - Candidate Vermin Nov 3, 12:28 2
      - I endorse smugness if it'd directed at Vermin. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 12:30
      - what would your explanation for national polls being off by 7 points or more, on the average? -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 12:30

      - [deleted] 5
        
        honesty, I dont trust a single poll, maybe an aggregator, such as 538, is the best place to see the actual polling data. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 3, 12:19
        
        by not reflecting reality? - kilboooo Nov 3, 12:18 3

        [deleted] 6
        
        The strength and continuity of nearly *all* polling is what makes it different, methinks. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 12:26
        
        was that a poll of polls? - Reagen Nov 3, 12:26 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        The pollsters have got some 'splainin to do if it's a double digit margin as well, IMO. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 12:33 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I mean, if it's a shocking result the other way. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 12:38
  - he didn't defeat me, I just, well, decided it wasnt worth winning. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 3, 12:15

    - I saw a glimmer of the old McCain on SNL. That was a welcome turn of events. -- nm - David Nov 3, 12:17 5
      - That just makes me sadder. - Sage Rosenfels Nov 3, 12:23 1
        
        Stupid auto-nick. Serves me right for trying to make a Matt Schaub joke. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 12:25

      - I'd love to see a run-off, too, and hopefully get shipped off to Georgia. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 12:21 1

Geek Deal: 1.5TB Hard Drive $149 w/free ship -- (link) - budice Nov 3, 12:09 8
- wow. HD space is getting crazy cheap. i need to get a RAID -- nm - colin Nov 3, 12:12 7
  - There was a great Slashdot article a few weeks ago about RAID and 1TB drives and how the two are dangerous - kilboooo Nov 3, 12:18 6
    - if i only use it for storage, not for working off of, is that a problem? -- nm - colin Nov 3, 12:19 5
      - The point was that if this happens, you loose all the data on the array. If you don't care about the data - kilboooo Nov 3, 12:20 4
        
        hm.. well question.. - colin Nov 3, 12:23 3
        
        It is. The message is that because the drives are so large now, the time it takes to repair a damaged array when a drive goes bad - kilboooo Nov 3, 12:28 2
        
        okay. so i guess just keeping my external hard drives will be the way to go. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 12:32 1
        
        Those will fail someday too -- nm - kilboooo Nov 3, 12:40

    - Coming from a Titans fan, this is rich. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 12:20 3
      - Titans fan? You are *so* alert. -- nm - David Nov 3, 12:21 2
        
        Oh, we all know you pull for Atlanta, but we can see the Tennessee in you at times. - Spawn Nov 3, 12:24 1
        
        Yes, when the *Vols* play. - David Nov 3, 12:25
